Speaking as a longtime member, I think we should keep the rep points system. I also believe you should give me some rep points for believing so...and for being an awesome sailor.

However, we should give GBurton some negative rep to get his square back to red.

Smack, you can have mi a haon .
Never got the point anyway, agus who,s this Raderir guy.
Green goes with the boat , red with my nature.
Safe sailing

I dont spend any time looking at rep points. Good advice is backed up by others and those offering poor ideas tend to be shot down. There are a number of regular contributors here with a ton of experience and their thoughts and ideas seem to stick out as good sound advice.

I'd point out that this thread is over 2-years old.

heck keep em, and who ever has the greatest reps to posts ratio should get a free sailnet tee-shirt at the end of the year with the highest negative reps poster face on the back mounted on dart board with some goofy quote. I'd think it's great all in good fun leave em. Peace. Damn I only have two, Doe!

When this thread started a few weeks ago I had 0 rep power. Now my rep power is 4, easily passing others who have many times the number of posts that I do, and have intelligent things to say. How the heck does that happen?

It appears that the "range war" has died down in any event, whether due to loss of interest or running out of ammunition. I suspect that most of these things, from an administrater's point of view, fall into the category of; let's see if it's still a problem a month from now and then we'll consider action. Probably a policy born of experience.
